The only Pokemon that get Truant normally are Slakoth and Slaking. The middle Pokemon in that tree, Vigoroth, doesn't have it and is actually better than Slaking as a result.

Try getting hit by a slaking giga impact and then come back to me.

It depends on the settings the streamer checked. It might.

Could have been an Igglybuff with Truant, I suppose.

And watch as we get our Pokeballs, use them all on one trash Pokemon, then immediately release it once we go to heal.

Try popping out the video and closing the chat. The chat is what really bogs it down.

If you want both, pop out the chat and use something like livestreamer for the video:
https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/releases

Someone posted instructions for it eons ago in the thread, but the readme should do you all right.
Oh wow, up til now I'd just been trying to watch by clicking that arrow to minimize the chat window. Actually popping out the video fixes pretty much everything.

it would hit hard as hell, but then that Pokemon would be utterly helpless for 3 turns as it skips a turn, recharges, then skips another turn before it can attack again.

That was in response to a question about the potential for the pokemon's ability to change, not if trade evolutions are changed to level up evolutions.

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.

Artic Puma posted:

Moves have to be consistent, there's only one level up table per species that nearly all trainers and all wild Pokémon follow. Abilities are randomly selected from a set of two per species.
